"Nurse Shelley conducted my telehealth visit. She was friendly, courteous, and professional. The telehealth visit was brief and covered all my needs. The best part is I didn’t have to leave home. Thank you, Nurse Shelly. I appreciate you!"
"The staff is efficient however it is not always okay to have automated choices. I needed to make an appt to get med refill and I couldn’t ever talk to anyone. The system was not allowing me to make my own. I think a choice should be to leave a VM for a person to call back when it’s an urgent need."
"Professional and friendly staff. Dr. Brousse listened and made me feel very comfortable about my health concerns. He"knows his stuff", and I will continue to see him as my gastroenterologist."

But the staff was not helpful when I called to ask them to send my prescription to CVS bc the prescription was sent to GI Alliance. My insurance did not cover it from GI Alliance bc they are out of network. CVS still has not received my prescription."
"I love the care that I receive at GastroGroup Covington Dr. Ranney is quiet but well qualified. Dr. Ranney and his group have cared for during 2 hospital stays for Acute Pancreatitis.

"I just completed the colonoscopy procedure with Dr. Jenkins and staff. I found this to be a well-run, friendly and proficient group. I was first in line, so I can't comment on wait time because as soon as I got there they went through my paperwork, processed me in, got me set up with the gown and did all of the hookups and rolled me in to the procedure room. As soon as I came out from under anesthesia, Dr. Jenkins gave me the results. Of course they also went over the results with my wife later on. I had contact with the receptionist, 3 nurses, the anesthethesist, and Dr. - Thumbs up to all hands on deck."
"I am being treated by Dr. Ranney and I am quite pleased by his interpersonal and professional skills. The entire staff has been efficient and courteous."
"The test has never been bad the preparation has been terrible. Well it is not terrible any more. I had to drink 2-8 oz cups of a powder mixed with water and fluids the day before. You can have Popsicles, any type of pop, water, coffee. Was very well care for before, during and after treatment. The office called the next day to check on me. I would recommender this great group of doctors with my health care needs."
